This place is best known for Chevy V8 conversions for Jags.  Still, their catalog contains some useful stuff such as an 
improved design steering rack mount, as well as several tidbits of helpful information.  They also have a good 
assortment of used parts.  “Our replacement parts (poly rack bushings, poly trans mounts, A/C hoses [R134 
compatible], PS hoses, etc.) are engineered beyond OEM specifications and all carry a lifetime warranty.”

Body styling components.  Offers bumper covers, a "boot infill panel" that replaces the boot plinth and provides a 
smoother appearance around the licence tag, and a boot lid spoiler with an LED 3rd brake light built in.  If you’re in a 
country that requires rear fog guard lights, the bumper covers have no in-bumper provision for them.  There is 
reportedly carbon fiber involved, as opposed to the simple fiberglass of some other products.

For the Jaguar V12:

supplied as partially assembled kit.  All kits are supplied with cast alloy deepened & gated sump. 

8.4 liter under development. 

Deepened and gated alloy sump kit available separately. 

Induction Systems: 

12 Throttle Body 95º manifolds (45-48mm ) for XJ-S.  Length = 220mm from port face. 

Four plenum cast alloy 45mm interior parabolic manifolds designed primarily to take advantage of “pressure wave” or 
sonic supercharging theory, but will also function as high flow manifold for larger engines. 

Four plenum injection manifold available for V12 E-Type and can be used as “low profile” arrangement for other 
purposes. 

High flow single plenum manifold to run larger engines with standard layout.  This alloy casting has the same runner 
design as four plenum manifolds. 

Complete tuned engines can be supplied if required with management systems to accommodate fuel requirements and 
prevailing emission standards.
